[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 212937, member: 2672"] It was the subsequent doubling down on lying and faking documents that banned this individual. She was also caught out on the lie because her court case was in the public domain, something that wouldn’t be available if you were interviewing. Pretty much every lawyer who has gone for an interview whilst working would be banned if this was something that happened all the time. Everyone in a long-term job lies about why they need time off to attend an interview while working, usually citing some form of other appointment like a doctors or dentist rather than calling in sick, and makes time up outside of working hours to do these things. However, some people take annual leave, especially if they are interviewing a lot. But they still lie about why they are having the time off. The vacation scheme dynamic is slightly different given the short period of time you are with the firm, the inability to make time up in the same way you might be able to do in a long-term job (especially if you need a full day off for an AC) and because you are trying to convert. Firms are not stupid and know it is interview season too. That’s why it’s better to be upfront about why you’d need the time off rather than lying. Firms can decline you having time off to attend an interview if you do request it though (like they could decline any request to have time off). [/QUOTE]
